2DM PRODUCTION
Milan - London - New York
"We are an environmentally conscious full-service production company. We have partnered with change-making companies, to redefine production offerings in the creative industry.
Our approach: our producers work collaboratively with leading fashion brands, photographers and directors to bring their artistic visions to life. We engage with each project uniquely and curate each experience to match the specific needs and accomplish the creative vision of the client while providing a high-end service but also aiming to adjust common production customs on photo & video sets, consuming less and more consciously.
Our mission: smarter productions yet compatible with the context in which we work, to optimise consumption and drastically reduce on-set use of unsustainable or polluting materials. The purpose of this new approach in terms of services is to trigger new methods that over time will adapt the production standards to the changes that the society is requiring." -

Paolo Cecchin for Oplà Production
Italy
Paolo Cecchin’s studio is based in Milan.
Paolo has always wanted to be a painter. Maybe this is one of the reasons why he personally retouches all the images he produces; another reason is the ability to control each stage of the work with greater precision. He starts with a black canvas where light is allowed to tell the story through contrast and shadow. He is fascinated by light. It comes from his love of nature and sometimes hanging on the wall of a mountain watching the lights on the horizon.
The fact is that being a photographer gives him a way to combine his passion for creativity, energy, adventure and storytelling.

Roberto Mango
Italy
"My passion for photography came through in my early 20s, when I decided to leave my bachelor in economics and business and moved to London to work as a freelance for several real estate agencies.
My interest in architecture photography comes from a strong family tradition of architects and designers. Also, having a family-owned hotel has proven really helpful in the planning and visualisation process of the client’s requests and how to meet them.
I eventually moved back to Italy eager to improve my skills, and have since worked locally and internationally with hotel brands including Hilton, La Cocumella, Le Sirenuse, and architecture studios such as Gnosis Progetti, with whom I shot Naples’ international airport, Paestum’s archaeological site, and other renovation projects."
